"Pa-deliver na lang tayo?"

I walked to the bathroom to wash my face after placing all of my things in its proper place. Kanina pa kami rito ni Mia sa building dahil dito kami dumiretso agad from school. We do not have time to pass through the mall earlier para kumain dahil kailangan pa naming mag-ayos ng things.

Mom was actually here a while ago to help me organize everything, especially the ones for the kitchen. Sumama siya kay Kuya Roger sa paghatid sa akin.

"Why asking food now? Were you done already?"

I went out of the bathroom while wiping my face with the white cloth I removed pagkatapos kong magpalit ng new one. Malamig dito sa loob pero I am sweating all over kanina. Not a joke ang maghakot ng gamit kaya!

"I'm completely done, kanina pa! Ikaw lang naman ang hindi pa, Maria Clara." Mia sat on my bed. "Kain kasi ng kain ng chocolate, ayaw unahin ang paglilinis!"

I chuckled remembering my scene earlier with Mom.

"Avi, can you get the broom?"

"Coming!" I bite four squares from the Cadbury before tucking it again on my chest. I ran over Mom. "Here."

"You dry the plates now. Nahugasan ko na 'yan."

I went near the sink where wet plates were arranged. I took the wrap of the chocolate bar out of my chest using my right hand. I was having a munch from time to time while using my hands too in drying the plates.

"Oh, God, honey. Why can't you wait?" Mom sighed with laughter. My mouth was still full when I turned to her like a hamster. "Just go, finish that first."

I shook my head, couldn't talk because my mouth is full. "It's okay, Mom! I have pretty multitasking hands!" I showed her how I am doing the work she asked me right while eating in between. I don't know if she heard it fine when she only shook her head.

Pero actually, kaya ang tagal ko is because hindi talaga ako mapakali kanina. I spent time para ulit-ulitin lang ang patas ng gamit ko. I'm not satisfied with every first trial of placing the pattern and order of my things. As much as possible, I want it to look perfect in my eyes. A clean-organized house is a happy home!

"Basta ikaw na ang mag-order, ah. I'm good whatever your pick," pangunguna ko kay Mia. I'm not picky but I don't really eat meats.

"I'll just go get my phone." Mia stood up and closed the door of my room.

"Huwag fried foods, ah!" I shouted. 

I heard the loud bang of the door so I'm not fair sure if Mia has heard it. Ayaw ko ng fried dahil it consumed a lot of fatty oils! I shivered just by looking at oily foods. But definitely not buttery. It was my alternative!
